A garment worker was run over in the capital's Tejgaon area Saturday morning because the driver of a bus was wearing earphones while driving.
The dead was identified as Kohinoor, 26, daughter of Sirajul Islam from Barisal.
Police said the driver did not notice Kohinoor while reverse-driving his bus into the garage of Posh Garments in Tibbot area around 10am.
Kohinoor was wailing for help after being hit the first time, but the driver, with earphones plugged in, did not hear her scream and ran over her.
The body was taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital around 11:30am. The hopital outpost's police Inspector Mozammel Haque endorsed the information.
